Although few of the claims that are made have been tested, there is evidence that stakeholder participation can enhance the quality of environmental decisions by considering more comprehensive information inputs. However, the quality of decisions made through stakeholder participation is strongly

Robustness of reputation-based trust: Boolean Case

by Sandip Sen, Neelima Sajja - In Proceedings of the 1st International Joint Conference on Autonomous Agents and Multiagent Systems (AAMAS , 2002
"... We consider the problem of user agents selecting processor agents to processor tasks. We assume that processor agents are drawn from two populations: high and low-performing processors with di#erent averages but similar variance in performance. For selecting a processor, a user agent queries other u ..."

-performance processors in the face of such "noisy" reputation mechanisms. We evaluate the robustness of this reputation-based trusting mechanism over varying environmental parameters like percentage of liars, performance difference and variances for high and low-performing agents, learning rates, etc.

On the Reliability of Trusting

by Harvey S. James , 2001
"... Abstract: This paper presents a model of trust in which a principal chooses either to trust or monitor an agent who, in turn, chooses either to honor or exploit that trust. The principal's decision of whether to trust or monitor is based on the relative temptation an agent faces to exploit the ..."

the principal's trust, which comprises two elements – the environmental incentives the agent faces and the personal characteristics of the agent. The model is used to develop a reliability condition that the principal uses to assess the likelihood that trust placed in an agent will be honored.
